If you’re the culprit, it’s up to you to either find a quiet meeting spot or master your mute button to ensure a smooth, productive experience.

To help you know if you’re ready for your next conference call, our eBook includes this handy-dandy Conference Call Flowchart! Print it out and hang it by your desk, or passive-aggressively send it to your unruly coworker. The choice is yours!
